I had a hard time coming up with a blog name, no matter what I came up with just didn’t sound catchy or good enough. I finally came up with one but then completely changed it to what it is now…Thoughts with Suz. And it’s exactly what it is, it’s my thoughts…obviously my blog is about my life blog along with lifestyle so it just made sense to name it that and I really like it! I blog about my struggles with my weight, about infertility, I share recipes, talk about life, my obsession with coffee, tea, and Disneyland and now my puppy!

I have been loving my banana bread recipe that I had posted and wanted to try something new since I had bananas that were very ripe. I decided to make a super easy blueberry banana muffins.
Ingredients:
4 large ripe bananas
1 box yellow cake mix
2 large eggs
1 cup of blueberries – I use frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon of all purpose flour.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 and grease a cupcake pan.
In a bowl, mash up the bananas.
Mix in the eggs and cake mix.
Coat your blueberries in the flour.
Add the blueberries to the banana, egg and cake mixture.
Scoop into the cupcake pan. I had to use 2 cupcake pans since I got 19 cupcakes out of this one.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
You can even replace the blueberries for chocolate chips or even walnuts if you wanted.
For the past 12 to 15 years, being a nanny is what my career has been and probably will be for the next few years too. However, what I would love to be is a stay at home mom once we have a baby, but I don’t just want to be a stay at home mom. I would love to be able to work from home as a blogger and a photographer. At one point in my life, I wanted to become a book editor so I actually wouldn’t mind if I did that part time while being a stay at home mom. I am such a homebody that I would love nothing more than being at home and working from home.
For today’s blog post, I need to write one thing that I wish I had right now; well that for me would be a child. I always knew I wanted to be a mom and have children; I always dreamt of being a stay at home mom and even working part time from home. My husband and I have tried before in the past to try and get pregnant and sadly I never got a positive in my pregnancy test within that year. I decided to take a break because it was affecting me so much and causing me to get so depressed from it. So we did, we took a 2 to 3 years off of trying and started up again trying a little less than a year in a half ago, and we still have not gotten a positive on a pregnancy test. I was diagnosed with PCOS and early stages of Pre Diabetes and Cholesterol; however, because those were very early on, they told me that with my diet change and exercise I can get rid of it without any medication. I was going to go to a specialist to get more testing done to see how my uterus looks, etc however, this whole coronavirus stuff happened so I have to wait till everything clears up before I can get more testing done. But all I can do now is be patient and not be so hard on myself on the fact that I am not a mom yet…
I think now more than ever, we are missing so many people; I know I miss so many in my life that I cannot see or visit right now. However, the person that I absolutely miss the most is my sweet angel grandma who sadly passed away. My grandma passed away last year and the last time I saw her in person was in September of 2015 before she moved back to Armenia. This sweet grandma of mine was the one I was the closest too, the one who I am so similar too, the one with the biggest heart ever. I miss her so so much.
Meet my precious baby girl Daisy Lou! She is a toy Maltipoo and only weighs 2 pounds as of a week ago. I got her Sunday May 3rd when she was 8 weeks old! I had a boy Maltipoo who sadly passed away last year after he got really sick and he was 9 years old. I always wanted a girl dog to name her Daisy and I’m so glad I finally found her! I’m so in love with Daisy and I cannot wait to see her grow. 🥰
We all have those days where we are feeling very down, sad and just depressed. I have been having them a lot more recently the past few years and I still struggle with how to really get out of it; however, I always have a few things that I like to do to improve my mood.
My blog post that I upload yesterday was a fairly sad one, so I today I wanted to share 5 things that I am blessed with.
My husband – he’s my everything and I cannot imagine life without him.
My family – this whole safe at home situation has brought us all so much more closer and I’m forever thankful for it.
My baby girl Daisy – we recently got a toy maltipoo puppy less than 2 weeks ago named Daisy and I am so obsessed with her and feel so blessed to have her in our lives.
My health – yes I have some health and hormone issues but I feel blessed that it is not much worse.
My job – I know so many people have lost their jobs due to COVID-19 and I feel thankful that I still have a job and am still working.
What are some things you are thankful/blessed for?
